What is 59 percent of 14 m?

Answer 1

59% can be rewritten as 59/100 (you can divide percentages by 100 to get their decimal value)

Now multiply (59/100) x 14

Simplify:

(59/50) x 7

Multiply the numerators:

59 x 7 = 413

And divide 413 by 50:

413 / 50 = 8.26

8.26 m is your answer.

Alternatively you can also rewrite the percentage as 0.59 (as 59/100 = 0.59) and multiply that by 14 m on paper.
